In November 2018, I read that Argos Froyanes had launched two new vessels for tooth-fishing in the Ross Sea. Argos Georgia and Nordic Prince are state of the art long-liners, sitting at 54 meters long and taking a crew of around 25 staff. Designed with the safety of the crew in mind, the vessels use a moon pool in the hull to haul the tooth-fish in, they are ice strengthened and have incredibly modern technology.

Oh, you suffered through Part 1 did you? I truly hope you did learn something though as the technical aspect of wildlife photography really is just part of the equation. A technically perfect seagull on a post, is still just a seagull on a post, and even an iphone will take pretty good photos these days, as below.

I have had a lot of help from some very special people in my quest to improve my wildlife photography. I started taking photographs of birds in late 2015, you can read about my first Albatross trip here. Over the last few years I have read books, asked for advice, watched tutorials and practiced. I have squealed with delight at good shots, and have cursed, sworn and sulked over bad ones.
